Our 2023 six-week summer music camp serving 30 children was a tremendous success. The students received 165 hours of instruction, including choir, garage band, movement, solfege, “feelings” (mental health & trauma management), songwriting, Bible, and private instrumental lessons. They practiced and performed seven songs in total for seven events in the community.
“Our students learned so much this summer! Their performances were inspiring and impressive. SWAN4KIDS changes lives. I’m proud of our teachers, assistants, and staff’s commitment and compassion as they work with the students.” Brooke, Program Director
“So grateful that Nate had the opportunity to be a part of this. He loved his time with SWAN and has taken a huge interest in learning how to play the piano. Love this for him.” Tabby, Mother
“I was brought to tears by the SWAN4Kids performance.” Meredith Jorgensen – WGAL News 8
